Best 39 Mobile Casinos in Kenya

In Kenya, gambling is regulated by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB). The board executes it's mandate under the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act of 1966. The Act gives the licensing board power to issue and revoke licenses to casino operators. The licenses expire 30th June of every year.

Gambling in online and land-based casinos is legal in Kenya as long as the operators are approved by the Betting Control and Licensing Board. However, the law needs an update to include online gambling. Since there are no online licensed casinos in Kenya, many Kenyans opt for offshore sites.

Currently, Kenya has about thirty licensed land-based casinos.

Despite there being no cases of players being charged with gambling on unlicensed casinos, gambling at offshore casinos is considered illegal. Playing at a licensed casino has its own advantages, top on the list being the fact that you are sure the games are fair and your money is safe.

On the other hand, playing at casinos that are not regulated exposes you to a host of challenges. From rigged games to being denied money you have won, there are so many things that can go wrong at unregulated or offshore casinos. Unregulated casinos are also infamous for delaying payouts and limiting withdrawals to very little amounts.

Placing your bets from the comfort of your home or on the go may sound interesting since you don't have to budget for things such as traveling to a land-based casino but this comes with its own challenges. You are likely to overspend than you had budgeted.

To avoid such pitfalls, set a limit to the amount of money you can afford to lose. Don't gamble when you are depressed or upset and always remember that alcohol and gambling have never been a good combination. Remember to balance gambling with other activities and always take the cue when it's time to stop.

Most adults in Kenya own a mobile phone. A good percentage of them own smartphones with data capabilities which have been the main driver behind the rapid growth of mobile gambling in Kenya.

The country is among the leading African countries with a huge number of online gamblers.

It's not easy to get online casinos that accept deposits in Kenya shillings which means the cash has to be converted into a more acceptable currency such as USD or GBP.

Some of the acceptable modes of payment include:

• Visa
• Direct bank transfer
• MasterCard
• ecoPayz
